  1. Why did I get a Notice?

    The purpose of the Notice is to advise you that presently pending before the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the “Court”) is a consolidated securities case captioned In re Under Armour Securities Litigation, No. RDB-17-388. Pursuant to the Court’s Order dated September 29, 2022, the Court certified this securities case as a class action to proceed on behalf of the Class.

    The Notice is directed to you because you may be a member of the Class (“Class Member”). If you are a Class Member, your rights will be affected by this Action. If you do not meet the Class definition as listed in Question 5 below, the Notice does not apply to you. If you are uncertain whether you are a member of the Class, contact Class Counsel listed in Question 8 below or your own attorney.

    The Notice is not an admission by Defendants or an expression by the Court of any opinion on the likelihood of recovery by the Class Representatives or on the merits of any defense asserted by Defendants. There is no settlement or monetary recovery at this time and there is no guarantee there will be any recovery. The Notice is provided only so that you may decide what steps, if any, to take in relation to your continued participation in the Class.

    Discovery in this Action is ongoing. The Court has set a deadline of October 2, 2023 for filing summary judgment motions, and briefing on such motions will be complete by December 18, 2023. The Court has scheduled trial to begin on March 4, 2024.

  2. What is this lawsuit about?

  3. Why is this a class action?

    A class action is a type of lawsuit in which one or several individuals or entities prosecute claims on behalf of all members of a group of similarly situated persons and entities (i.e., the Class) to obtain monetary or other relief for the benefit of the entire group. Class actions avoid the necessity of each member of a class having to file his, her or its own separate lawsuit to obtain relief. Class actions are used to decide legal and factual issues that are common to all members of a Class. Importantly, Class Members are NOT individually responsible for the attorneys’ fees or litigation expenses. In a class action, attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses are paid from the settlement fund (or the Court judgment amount), if any, and must be approved by the Court. If there is no recovery, the attorneys representing the Class do not get paid.

  4. Is there a settlement?

    The Court has not decided in favor of Class Representatives or Defendants. This action has not been settled and continues to be litigated. There is no settlement or monetary recovery at this time and there is no guarantee there will be any recovery.

  6. Can you provide me with the CUSIP so I can search my records?

    We administer the notice process under the direction of the presiding Court and counsel. In some cases, we are directed to provide CUSIP numbers for the securities involved in the matter. In other cases, we are not authorized or directed to provide the CUSIPS. In this case, we are unable to provide the CUSIP. The determination regarding CUSIPS is made on a case-by-case basis by counsel and courts involved and is not a matter decided by us.
